Cuticular Barcoding-A Novel Method for Host Identification From Adult Parasitoid Wasps. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur manuscript presents a novel molecular tool that permits host detection of an adult parasitoid wasp. Our non‐destructive method, that we here tested in a laboratory experiment, allows studying the intricate interactions between parasitoids and their hosts while preserving the parasitoid as voucher specimen for subsequent morphological identification.

Primary parasitoid and hyperparasitoid guilds (hymenoptera) of grain aphid (Sitobion avenae F.) in northern Poland [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 The aim of this study was to determine and compare the guilds of parasitic Hymenoptera associated with the grain aphid on rye and winter wheat in northern Poland. Of the seven species of primary parasitoids (Braconidae: Aphidiinae, Aphelinidae),

Reproductive and Developmental Biology of Acroclisoides sinicus, a Hyperparasitoid of Scelionid Parasitoids [PDF]
Biology, 2021 Acroclisoides sinicus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) was described in 1988 from China, but recent findings in Europe and North America within the framework of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) biological control indicate a Holarctic distribution. The few records and fragmented information on A.
